Do you prefer money over type of work?

I think it needs to be a balance between the to since its not good to have a job you hate no matter how much you make.

i am just a student now, for me,i think at first i will prefer the type and the quality of the work to the money, it is my idea that the type of the work will effect my furture development, and i can earn money later.

Though I prefer money, it is the peace of mind and work satisfaction(which come through the type of work) that keeps me going in a job.I think in life, it is not hoarding money first and living after wards.Both earnings and good quality life should go hand in hand.That's the way I think.

Right now I got to finance my studies so I will want a job which pay very well so obviously I will wait an honest and trustworthy job which pays the salary I can afford both my fees and my personal expenses.

Hi Ajay, a balance between money, work, and environment is essential. Money is not everything and nor is work or environment. So periodically review your personal goals in relation with the prevailing conditions. I am not a great one for moving quite often. But there is some logic there. :) You are in a profession that sees rapid changes. It can happen that since everything is moving smoothly, you will just forget to keep yourself up to date, since those new languages or skills are not necessary at the moment. You might end up unemploying yourself eventually. So keeping in touch with the latest languages and programming concepts is a must. Attending interviews and trying for new jobs helps in keeping you on your toes so to say. :) When should you move? Now that is a big question considering unpredictability of your profession. I'd say if you have enough savings that can feed you through 3 odd years, then you might consider moving out! By savings I dont mean retirement savings.

In my opinion, both are important. But I'm more leaning towards the quality of work. I'm a very passionate girl, and I want to be able to enjoy what I'm doing despite the earnings.

I will only consider money over the type of work if my pay is so low that I cannot live adequately on it. As long as I can pay for my rent or house and can pay for food and clothing and live comfortably, then the work comes first.

Good quality of work is certainly necessary because work occupy a massive part of my life and time.I can't image the most time I spend my life on makes me unhappy and boring all the time .That is so horrible!Money is only one way to get happiness,it is process rather than final aim.If we perfer money to quality of work ,then we have to go to the opposite side of our aim.

I'm not part of the workforce yet, but if ever I had to work, I would choose my quality of work over the money. Quality says a lot more about one person than money does. You can be rich but if you don't produce good output then that's useless.

For me it would really depend on what sort of work and what sort of money we where talking about. Im a freelancer so in that sence I dont "switch" companies but if I have two more or less identical job offers I will complete the one first which pays the better.

I go for both. For me quality of work is important but it's also important that you are well- compensated. There is no perfect company. Just like what they say you can't have everything you want. Stability of my work is also important for me. This is the reason I don't just easily leave my company for a higher paid job. I've been working with my current company for 3 years now. There are other companies who will pay me more for the same job because of my experience. However, I choose to remain where I am. Why? First is because there is growth for me within the company. Next is because I'm well- compensated. Other companies will pay me more and even double what I'm earning right now. That's the reason some of my colleagues already transferred to other companies. However, for me their is no stability and continuity in company hopping.

Hai ajay.... I think the quality of the work is not so important, for me the important thing is money. because ultimately the work aims to raise money right? I am always doing anything that makes money for me in a good way,if money is collected we could find something fun for our lives, such as cars, houses, women, nice clothes etc..

I think when change a company see the Money and quality of the company.

I think both are important. Everyone wants money, but it depends on how bad the quality is. I think if the money was really good but the quality is just not THAT good, versus a company with not so good money but okay quality, I would go with the money. It depends on you, really, but I prefer to have more money to spend (:

No money is not everything. Money is a good motivation, but if you hate what you do then life is not going to be very fun for you and you will hate going to work everyday. I don't think it is a good idea to switch jobs very often even if the money is better, eventually future employees will not see you as someone who will stick arond, also you will never accumulate nice benefits like longer vacations and being vested in a 401K. I kow we are depending on our 401K money to retire on.

I know all about that. I used to work in the automotive service industry. I would have a new tech on Monday, and sometimes the following week he was no longer with the company. I have seen the revolving door effect all too much. Money is important, but I think a little loyalty may be just as important.

Not really. If I can earn enough for my life with my interest, I will not change another job which will give me more but i don't like. but if my interest can't support my life, i can only give up it and change a more-earning job thought i maybe don't like it.
